Assessment & Therapy Services for CAF Members, Veterans, and Families

​

At the Canadian Centre for CBT, we are proud to support Canadian Armed Forces (CAF) members — active, reservist, released, and their families — with comprehensive psychological assessments and evidence-based therapy services tailored to the unique demands of military service.

Our team of experienced mental health professionals understands the psychological impact of military training, deployments, and operational stress, including operational stress injuries (OSI), trauma exposure, anxiety, depression, burnout, moral injury, and adjustment challenges during and after service.

​

 

What Are CAF Psychological Assessments?

​

A psychological assessment is a structured evaluation designed to understand your current mental health functioning, how military service experiences have affected your day-to-day life, and what supports are most effective moving forward. These assessments may include:

• Clinical interviews

• Standardized psychological testing

• Symptom inventories tailored to trauma, stress, and mood disorders

• Functional impact evaluations

• Reporting for benefit applications or clinical planning

​

Assessments can help:

• Clarify or confirm mental health diagnoses

• Understand service-related impacts on work, relationships, and daily functioning

• Inform personalized treatment plans

• Provide documentation to support benefits, disability applications, or transition planning

​

​

Who Might Benefit from a CAF Assessment?

​

You might consider a psychological assessment if:

• You are experiencing symptoms following deployments, training incidents, or cumulative service stress

• You are applying for or updating disability or benefits coverage

• Your physician, clinician, or case manager has recommended further evaluation

• You want a comprehensive understanding of your mental health to guide treatment and recovery

​

Our assessments address a range of CAF-relevant concerns, including post-traumatic stress, anxiety, depression, adjustment difficulties, sleep disturbance, moral injury, and stress-related functional impacts.
